Letters .Patent No. 65,855, dated June 18, 1867.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY GONGERN:

Be it known that I, JAMES C. ADAMS, of the city of Philadelphia, in the State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful improved Metallic-Paint Keg; and I do hereby declare that the following is a, full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the annexed drawings, forming part hereof.

The drawings represent zu verticall section 'of my improved' keg, which is designed to be used by manufacturers as vessels to peck paint in, and afterwards by painters as vessels to mix in and paint from.

I turn over the edge of the keg fiat, making two turns, as shown at a in the drawings. When so formed the top presents a. rounded surface for the paintermto clean his brush upon iiithout cutting'it. The increased thickness of the tup adds to the strength of the keg, and the top being fiat, it allows close Contact between the cover and the body of the keg.

Having thus described my invention, I claim, and desire t-o secure by Letters Patent- A metallic-paint keg having its top formed by turning over the edge thereof Het twice, substantially as shown and described..

JAS. C. ADAMS.
